Chas McGill - from the Machine Gunners - has written to William - from Goodnight Mr Tom.  Chas is trying to persuade William to join him in Garmouth.

 

Dear William,

My life before this war was so boring. I cannot believe that the effect on Garmouth would be so epic. They’re scared. I know it, but with the machine gun it’s a good way to take revenge. Before the war, mam was a worrier, unlike me. And dad, well he was fussy, so he was quite particular in what he did. Anyway I went to school and put up with BODSER BROWN. Weirdo. Come, come to Garmouth. Be free to do what you like, you’ll like it. It’ll be heaven, pure heaven. So come, you won’t regret it. It will be the time of your life.

The fact is you need friends that stay loyal to you. You need a circle of friends so you can feel happier and safer. Cem’s my best friend, his dad’s a grave digger, how cool is that, but when we put our minds together, we’re unstoppable. You could be part of that, a trio, a triangle of minds. Audrey’s a girl (yuck) she’s alright, but keeps us on our toes.

Another purpose is: with us you’ll have a bird’s-eye view of the sea. And be the first to see the Germans. My friends and I need new recruits, and we think you are just the ticket. Besides we need a soldier for the army, some new meat to the bone, ‘cause every cloud has a silver lining but yours well yours is gold. Look at it from my point of view, do you really want to spend the rest of your life drawing insie winsie flowers? So decide.

Next, your friend Zach. Dead. I believe… I heard he was your closest friend but you can’t stay sad forever, so come join us. You know you want to. So believe me you’re wrong. So come. Please, you’re lost without me. We’ll balance you out a bit, you’ll be in a gang, have friends. So I’ll say it again. Decide.

We’ll train you, teach you how to use air-rifles. I can help you! TRUST ME! And you, well, you could widen my knowledge, get me to be a star pupil. In conclusion, you’ll have a bird’s eye view, you’ll be the ONE to see the Nazis. I can’t promise a luxury 5 star hotel, but it won’t be far from it, join me.  Do you really want to die of boredom?

Signed Chas McGill

P. S we need you, I need you.

Dear Diary

Today I climbed a gigantic mountain. My hands were broken and I thought they were going to drop off. I could feel I was going to let go, but I didn’t let go. I finally got to the top of the mountain.

Dear Diary

It was the worst day of my life. I was climbing a glass mountain it was freezing. I saw the sun shining behind the mountain. My hands and knees were bruised. When I got to the top it was voiceless. I saw an enormous grey castle in front of me.

Dear Diary

Today was a scary day because I had to climb a freezing, chilly, sharp mountain. When I got half way I didn’t want to look up or down. So I just looked at the rest of the mountain and said to myself I can do this.  Eventually I got to the top. Then I saw the great grey castle and my heart started to beat faster and faster.

Dear Diary

Today I had to do the hardest task ever! I climbed a massive mountain. If you had seen it you would be amazed.  I could hear birds squawking. I was tired and my hands were bloody. I was nearly there soon I came across a grey castle it was very gloomy.

Dear Diary

Today I climbed up a glass mountain and my hands were so so so freezing.  I felt anxious about climbing the mountain and what the weather would be like. After I got to the top I saw the gloomy grey castle. My hands were bloody and my legs were aching.

Jessica's 50 Word Story

A ghost guarded a graveyard, moaning…hovering. When the iron gate opened to unleash the terror within a ruby red, fiery eyed devil appeared.

  “Mu haha,” he echoed, soon after coughing.  The devil roared, “Is this 10 Downing Street? I’m supposed to be scaring David Cameron tonight.”

  “Noo!” wailed the ghost.
